It isn't just for quests. Some abilities affect certain opponents. NPC Empire need that tag so anti-Empire abilities will affect them, and so on. That's how your characters in territory battles can use their anti-rebel or anti-empire abilities. The NPCs have those tags.

The hell are you taking about? I'm not thrilled they are on high energy nodes but Cantina farms have no limit per day. Without the couple bonus incentives they have for us hard node is generally worse...

The hell am I talking about? It's not complicated mate. People farm multiple Hard Nodes, easily. Most folks I know tend to focus on one Cantina farm at a time because...I mean, do I really have to spell it out for you?

to be honest i haven't take a deep look to the new zombie rework. I just fought in the HStr now, and my zombie is really paper lvl 69 and gear 2. I don't agree with your decision, but, as per right now it sucks.
I have spent gears on the others NS, is not just the zeta on daka !
at this point I want back the Zeta on Assaj too !

I am also happy for two cantina node farms. I understand your point, but this is still easier than 2 hard node farms.

The shard amounts will be faster on the Cantina nodes in aggregate with less crystals invested unless the bonuses are kept for some time on the hard nodes. I've been pumping 24 runs into the bastila node a day plus all 8 ship runs since they did bonuses and she's still only half way to 6 star. If I did that with a Cantina farm for an equivalent amount of crystals they would likely be much further along...

I'm not trying to be an ****, though you seem to have taken it that way. Numbers would suggest with about a 200 a day investment I can hit her hard node for 24 runs practically right now with the bonuses. Same 200 crystals into a 16 energy cantina node farm and its 22.5 with no bonus. Both assume you can use normal energy accrued on both types of nodes. T3 is easier with a 12 node for 30 runs. Numbers suggest cantina is better without the bonuses.

this is a disgrace. you could've put one of the kotor characters to the shops. any one of them, really. but instead they are all hard-farming toons that are aimed for your pure money greed.
im speechless really. this is sad.

Gear her to g8 (or g10, if you want to go the revive route) and you shouldn't see much difference, esp with Feed omegaed, topping up ns to 100% to triggr 50% tm. If you're doing p3 then that's a different story.

Sad like children with polio sad? Donald Trump tweet SAD! Or just means you farm somewhere else sad? They have said in the past that certain shops WILL NOT change as they are shard shop sources for long-term players. The only one that does, and barely is Guild (Young Han) and Shard Shop itself for the toon.
